There was a large group of boys who he and Blake were good friends with, and they’d claimed one of the gazebos that were scattered around the school grounds to sit in during their lunch breaks. But Jack divided his time between hanging out with his friends and spending time with me.

But that wasn’t the case at all, and instead, each day we seemed to become closer than ever.””
